The howtness of commercial girls

As I flip through the television stations, I come across a commercial for Progressive Insurance. In the commercial, a cute woman is talking to a couple of guys about saving money on their insurance and comparing rates. I find myself being very attracted to the Progressive insurance woman.l Now, I am a happily married man and would never think about chasing after another woman, however, the more I watch these Progressive Insurance commercials, the more I find myself fantasizing about this woman. She has in essence become my commercial dream woman.
I mentioned my "love affair with this character" to one of my friends. He in turn told me about his commercial dream woman. For him, the woman in the Yellowbook commercials gets him going. I'm not sure if you have seen these commercials or not, but a woman in the future is being dumped by her boyfriend, so she goes online to the Yellowbook and begins looking up different things, such as chainsaws, etc... Eventually she decides on a new little black dress, and is seen in the next scene with the dress on. Now I will completely yield to the fact that this woman is beautiful, with her long brown hair and crystal clear Blue eyes, but she is no Progressive chick.
So my point to this little blog is what attracts one person may be completely different to another. For my friend, it was the Yellowbook woman's looks and maybe a little emotion over her being dumped, whereas for me, the Progressive woman has a cool, bubbly personality. She strikes me as someone I would like to hang out with; someone that would be fun and keep me laughing. In fact, I soon realized she reminds me of my wife (without the bitching about cleaning the cat box). I realized that what attracted me to this person in a commercial was the same thing that attracted me to my wife. Maybe if we look deeper at those we fantasize about, we will see that, for some of us, we have that person with us in real life.
